  • "...a well-prepared, patient teacher.."

    “Not only is Trevin an inspiring banjo player, but he’s a well-prepared, patient teacher who casually adjusts his lessons to accommodate the differing skills and needs of his students. His practice materials and accompanying videos were an immense help to learn between lessons.”

    — Patrick C.

  • "...I felt supported to take risks."

    “Trevin is a fantastic teacher - very skilled, patient, and supportive. He created a challenging environment but one where I felt supported to take risks. If an idea wasn’t clicking for me, he found other ways to explain or demonstrate it. Class was lots of fun too!”

    — Wernick Class Participant

  • "...empathetic, enthusiastic, and inspiring..."
